BeefJack: "It’s a shame that the initial story appeal that emphasises roleplaying soon falls by the wayside, the game reverting to the same formula, packaged differently and decorated with a few interesting twists, not differentiating itself enough in an increasingly crowded MMO market. It is free-to-play, so for anybody who wants a similar experience to Blizzard’s behemoth without the subscription fee, Guild Wars 2 may please. Disappointing at this stage, though."
Whether you're jumping in for the first time and playing for free or adventuring in our recently launched sixth expansion, Visions of Eternity, the best time to play Guild Wars 2 is now! Join the millions of players in Tyria and experience the friendliest MMO community firsthand.
A legendary adventure on the island of Castora awaits.
Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.
I played it a little years ago. It was fun but I had children after I started playing and gave it up so my wife wouldn’t hate me. I got to 50 and then hung it up
Arenanet is doing smthn wrong with marketing, I never once seen an ad for a gw2 expansion and always hear it like this once an expac is already released. Not that I would play it cause I'm a gw1 purist haha
New elite specializations and a fresh adventure on the magical and never-before-seen island of Castora - The sixth expansion launches on October 28!
"as the basic Guild Wars 2 quest structure does little to distance itself from the modern MMO formula established seven years ago by World of Warcraft."
really? REALLY?!?!
So all other games have dynamic quests that change the world as you do them.
This is the worst beta coverage I've ever read. Its like he didn't even play the game. No mention of all the revolutionary things Anet is doing, Like scaling levels, death of the trinity, and the intricacies of cross class comboing.
Its obvious this dude hated the game before he even sat down. If you are interested in the game read other reviews. This one is trash.
dang worse preview ever.
